Pediatric Home Health Care – Parenting Your Child with Special Needs

Pediatric Home Health Care – Parenting Your Child with Special Needs in Great Neck NY

Learning your child has a chronic illness, is developmentally delayed or has a disability can put you on a journey filled with difficult choices and strong emotions. There will be on-going needs for information, services, and interactions with specialists and different professionals. Parents can feel alone and isolated. They may not know where to turn for support or information.

You may feel a wide range of emotions, including confusion, powerlessness, disappointment and even rejection. It’s important to know you’re not alone.

“Not all parents go through these stages, but it is important for parents to identify with all of the potentially troublesome feelings that can arise, so that they will know that they are not alone. There are many constructive actions that you can take immediately, and there are many sources of help, communication, and reassurance.”

It’s vital to seek the assistance of another parent who is in a similar circumstance as you. Not only does this help you feel supported, you can also gain from their experience. As one parent reported,

“There was a parent who helped me. Twenty-two hours after my own child’s diagnosis, he made a statement that I have never forgotten: ‘You may not realize it today, but there may come a time in your life when you will find that having a daughter with a disability is a blessing.’ I can remember being puzzled by these words, which were nonetheless a valuable gift that lit the first light of hope for me. This parent spoke of hope for the future.”

Many parents suggest to take one day at a time, especially when you are walking unsure pathways in the diagnosis or treatment of your child. Focusing on fears of what may happen can be immobilizing; it’s better to ignore the ‘what if’s’ and appreciate the joy you can find in the current day. Don’t worry about tomorrow until tomorrow comes. Believe it or not, good things will happen each day. Sometimes you have to look a little harder for them to recognize them. Just go one step at a time.

Become educated as much as you can concerning the health status and special needs of your child. Become the expert. Continue to learn and see what you can gain from the experience of other parents.

You can rely on pediatric special needs care for the loving care of your child.
